Database Fundamentals is an introduction to how data is organized, stored, and managed in computer systems. It covers the basic ideas behind databases, including tables, records, fields, relationships, SQL, and the rules used to keep data accurate and secure. The course also shows how different database designs are used in real settings, from simple relational databases to other common models.
This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam to build understanding of tables, records, fields, SQL, and database design. The grading is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the work is spread across the course rather than depending on one test. When you finish and send the transcript to Indiana Tech, it is recognized as CS 2500 – Database Fundamentals, a named course equivalency.
Database Fundamentals gives you a practical base for handling data in school, at work, and in everyday systems that depend on accurate records. At Indiana Tech, that credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where understanding databases supports later coursework and degree planning. The course also helps students make sense of how data is stored, checked, and secured in real settings.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech for review. Indiana Tech then applies the credit as CS 2500 – Database Fundamentals, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because it tells you exactly where the credit fits in the Indiana Tech catalog and how it may support your degree plan. Indiana Tech accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a program, so it is important to check how this course fits alongside your other credits before you register for more coursework.
This course is a good choice for students planning ahead for Indiana Tech and wanting a course that has a named recognition as CS 2500 – Database Fundamentals. It may suit people who need flexible pacing and want to stay within Indiana Tech’s transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits, since transfer planning matters if you are building toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the right fit if you need a course that will transfer as more than a single database fundamentals requirement or if your grade will not meet Indiana Tech’s C-or-better standard for curriculum-related credit.
Indiana Institute of Technology (Indiana Tech) is HLC-accredited and accepts transfer credit from both regionally and nationally accredited institutions. Curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better is considered for credit.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
